Little Canada is a sister city with Thunder Bay and in August, they even hold “Canadian Days”. A celebration for businesses where locals can also sometimes be spotted in red and white.

“The people that I’ve met up there have been very gracious and welcoming,” Keis said.

While its mayor said there aren’t many Canadians now living in Little Canada, they are equally welcoming to any Canadian who wants to stop by to their historical society and hear the origins of their town. Especially after the Minnesota Wild beat the Winnipeg Jets Sunday night.

“Doing this interview is a little easier because we won yesterday,” Keis joked.
